Earlier on Friday, NewsPlop broke the news that Kelly was “still in negotiations” over her exit package and hoped to reach a conclusion soon.
A source told Us that the journalist is ready to make the next step in her career. “Megyn learned a lot from her time at NBC. Anytime you have a passionate, driven soul like her, there may be times within the context they say or do something that offends people without them even realizing it,” the insider said. “Megyn is the first to stop and turn around and apologize.”

The source added that Kelly is “ready to fight another day in applying her talents, enduring values and experiences to make real progress in this polarized world. Being true to herself is important to her.”
The Settle for More author faced backlash in October 2018 when she made controversial comments about blackface. “You truly do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface at Halloween or a black person who puts on white face,” she said during a Megyn Kelly Today segment. “That was OK when I was a kid, as long as you were dressing like a character.”
